Good afternoon, dolls🪻💜

Okie dokie, artichokie. I know, I know… Inquiring minds have been dying to know since last Sunday..how goes my writer’s block situation. And the answer is: it goes.
I realized part of my problem is, I was accidentally drowning out my own voice. I have become a little too persistent (if not obsessed) with Read Aloud on Word and it caused me to lose myself in editing. Symbolic, don’t you think?
Besides the obvious, that there was no way for me to hear my own voice if I wasn’t using it… there was a much worse symptom of using Read Aloud at play I hadn’t realized: I went from using this technology as a tool, to using it to speak for me. Can anyone relate?
I also think I do need a break. Burnout may have been creeping in as I was letting my laptop speak for me..
But I do wish to share some advice: don’t let anyone or anything speak or think for you. 1) Use your brain. It’s good for you. 2) If you let others speak for you, then don’t complain when things aren’t how you’d want them to be. 3) I, and I’m sure you too, have caught AI/Tech in mistakes. Others are imperfect too, so try doing it yourself and this way, at least, you’ll learn something.
The world remains topsy turvy and like you, I’d wish it’d stop at least for a little so I can catch a breath.
But that’s life. It goes on..
